ALMOST WAR.
seven Cinnamon Engaged i'm a
shooting ARRAY.

There was small war in China
town last night, in which the oppos-
! ing parties were highbinders, and as
no one except a Chinaman was in
jured, the affair cannot be considered
to have been serious. 1t appears that
two factions of the highbinders have
been at outs with each other for some
time past, and anticipating trouble
they had armed themselves with the
largest Colts revolvers they were able
to purchase. The i'll feeling between
the two factions grew as time passed
and eliminated last night in pitched
battle in which seven Chinese are said
to have been wounded. By some
arrangement the celestial parties had
come in contact in the white adobe
house in Niger Alley, in which a,
number of female slaves are kept for
the benefit OF their owners. How the
fight started the Chinese refused to
tell, but the first the outside world
knew of it was the firing of several
shots in rapid succession. These were
heard by Constable Martin Aguirre
and Deputies johnson and Arguello,
who were not far away. They ran to
the adobe, broke open the door and
through the smoke they saw one
Chinaman lying on the floor; two
others were standing in the center OF
the room, revolvers in their hands
and blood dripping from their persons
to the floor. Several other Cinnamon
were scattered about nursing wounds.
The officers quickly disarmed the
two men with revolvers and took
them to the County Jail, where they
were charged with attempted murder.
One of them had wound OF the side
of his head and the other had been
shot through the arm. The man on
the floor had been shot in his side,
had bullet hole in his thigh
and three other Cinnamon were
slightly injured by the flying bullets.
The house looked as though it had
been through a siege, for there had
been at least twelve shots fired
and the partitions being thin were
pierced in many places. The wound
ed Chinese were left to the care OF the
Chinese physician, who says that
none were fatally injured. Chief
Darcy and Sergeant Jeffries visited
the scene shortly afterward and cap
tured Cinnamon in the act of throw
ing away one OF the large revolvers.
They locked him up on a charge OF
carrying concealed weapons.

His offense is that he has singled
out the Catholic Church as an institu-
ton and has declared war against her
as against an enemy OF society. He
has misrepresented her motives, de-
rided her authority and sought to
bring her entire hierarchy, with the
Pope himself, into hatred and con
tempt. And with the virus of this
hatred he has attempted to inocuiate
the new political party Of which he is
the recognized head. According to
Henry George, the Catholic Church is
an utterly corrupt organization, the
foe OF liberty and human rights the
world over. 1t is made up OF tyrants
and slaves, and in il only hypocrites
can be in good standing. If all this
or one-half OF it were true, then no
honest man could remain in the Cath
olic Church, and, indeed, only such
Catholics as openly challenge and
defy competition are. in his opinion,
honest men and worthy OF admira.

that road would shortly be con-
structed from Perris, directly west &c
San Jacinto.
The line, when completed from San
Bernardino to San Diego via Riverside
and Santa Ana, will give another
through route for the entire system
from Los Angeles to San Diego in cas-
any accident or washout should occur
on the California Southern road. The
road from Santa Ana to Los Angeles,
when completed, will form an "arrow"
line between Los Angeles and San
Diego, that will permit the trains to
land passengers at either ter
minus in u four hours ride
and carry them through as fine a
part of the country as can be seen
anywhere in Southern California.
The road from Santa Ana or more
properly, from a point half mile
north OF Orange, for the branch will
not touch Santa Ana, as hitherto be-
believed, is being pushed to an imme'
diate completion.
A HERALD reporter saw a corps OF
surveyors in Anaheim yesterday who
mSiS Ju2t SlaltliiS Out uPVh oAiP w
survey the road from the point named
through the north side of the town OF
Anaheim and on to Santa Fe
Springs, thence to Los Angeles. Thence
surveyors are placing the stakes for
the graders and a member of the firm
of Rimpau Bros. said to the HERALD's
representative that he had been or
dered by the road to engage thirty
teams to go ahead with the grading
between the point a half-mile north OF
Orange and Anaheim as soon as the
surveyors were sufficiently out OF the
way as not to interfere with the work.
Ties and materials Of every sort will
at once be forwarded and the track
will be laid as soon as possible.
The Santa Fe Company has made
an agreement to construct Il road from
Inglewood to Redonda Beach, to be
finished in the early part OF next
spring. This road is intended to con-
vey summer visitors to the beach and
everything will be rushed so as to
ready for them at that time.

The work upon the San Diego di-
vision of the A. T. & S. F. r. r. Co.
is being rushed to completion as fast
as men can be procured to work.
A prominent official of the road said
to HERALD reporter yesterday after
noon that the company could and was
building branches faster than they
could supply rolling stock.
/, ,"Indeed," said he, "one-half of our
locomotives are being used to haul
trains across the country, and the
other half is utilized to supply fuel and
men and material for the first half,
and to build our roads now under
course of construction. While we are
on !. this subject, | will say
Something about the passenger
traffic Of the lines running into Cali
fornia, and more especially, Lower
California.
Why, in Kansas City, the people
who desire to come west, have to he
kept in hotels at the expense OF the
railroad companies, who are to trans
port them, until trains can be OBJ
tanned to haul them to
their destination. Over 500
people were taken to first
class hotels by the Santa Fe Route,
alone last week, and kept day and q
night until coaches could be obtained
to accommodate them.
And the best of it is this emf
gratiosl, as you might term it,
Is not showing tho slightest sign
Of a decrease. On the contrary, it is
steadily growing to enormous proper
tions. The excursionists who will
come TO California this winter will be
far greater in number than those OF
last winter. other statements to the
contrary notwithstanding"
One important statement this Of
ficiaI made was, that. the road from
Ocean Side to Escondido, would be-
fore long, be continued to the branch
aning from San Diego to the Cajon
.Sanch, and another statement was

DECORATION DAY.

Again we have come to the time for deco rating the graves of those who died to pre- serve the Union. And it is cheering to ob- serve that as the years roll On there is no lack of interest in the touching ceremonies of the day. On the contrary the interest seems to increase. It will probably exist for many years yet, for the true meaning of the day is such that it's observance can easily and ap- propriately continue Its design is not to cultivate taste for the pomps of war; to increase the national thirst for military glory; to.gratify the senses with the flights of elo- quence and the rhythm of poetic strains; or to offer the incense of praise to the names of the departed. Much less is it the object of this observance to recall the memories of cruel strife; to open again the gaping wounds, and reeite the ghastly stories of the battle field, where brother met brother in fratricidal strife. The real lesson of the day is the respect paid to the spirit of self sacrifice. Thus kept it may long continue to be a use ful and instructive anniversary.

THE LAND AGITATION.

The speech of Professor Dwight at the Columbia law commencement has made more marked impression than such speeches usually do. It dealt in an able way with the land question. The most striking pas- sage was the following: We can now see how wise our forefathers were when they wrote over the face of their political consti- tuition the sacred and time-honored phrase that ''private property shall not be taken even for public use without just compensa- tion." This grand idea they borrowed from Christianity and the Christian church as far back as the days of Justinian. It cannot be withdrawn from the United States consti- tuition without the consent of thrse-fourths of the States. It can no more be withdrawn indi- rectlv than directly, as, for example, by a tax cunningly devised for that purpose No State can take an immoral position on such question as this at this stage of the worlds civilization. Without property in land no man has an assured birthplace or burial place. No tree can be planted that he can call his own nor any dwelling erected that can give him shelter. There can be no churches but State churches, no colleges nor schools but State colleges and State schools When the State owns all the land and all the im- provements what tempting prize that will be for some bold adventurer.
 Professor Dwight's allusion to Mir. George and Dr. MeGlynn were pointed and prophet ic. Said he: In a few years all that will be left of the great agitator of to-day will be 8 few lines in biographical dictionary. No priest of to-day will for 8 moment rival in New York the great Savonarola of Florence. The great historic church which seven cen turies ago caused the naughty Philip Angus tus of France, despot as he was, to acknowl- edge the sacredness of private property in land will know how to deal with it's froward children of the hour.
 This is calm, intelligent way of looking at matter which is disturbing some timid and minimizing people.
